- Excellent work as usual Incognito.. I think I can see how this has progressed from your earlier SS.
If you wouldn't mind giving us the benefit of your insight as to how you improved this from the last one and how to utilize its features.
thanks"the Map is not the Territory"

- Apples & Oranges Doc,
The boats here are governed by a "Composite" polar. Once you familiarize yourself with the intent of the SOL experience you will find that it is clearly defined as a Sailboat Routing exercise. That is the raison d'être of those who offer this free environment for our enjoyment."the Map is not the Territory"

- Re: Game Feature Suggestions
- Board >> General Discussion
- This is a small suggestion but I feel it would indeed be an improvement.
Almost invariably some of the colored tracks that are randomly assigned to other boats are not always distinguishable from the background color of the day/night display. Perhaps my visual acuity in my advancing years is not what it once was or should be, However if it were possible to toggle an "invert color" button for the tracks it would allow them to reverse and stand out. Of course some that had good visibility might then become more difficult to see but with the alternating option one could pick and chose as necessary."the Map is not the Territory"

- I Like SOL because they treat non SYC members fairly.
i.e. your boat's performance is not dependent on how much money you spend.

- Super Mackinac Challenge
- Board >> Race proposals
- The Mackinac Races held every year are highlighted beyond the Sailing community and are given widespread publicity in the Great Lakes Region. While the "Super Mac" is not run on an annual basis it is actually run in conjunction with the races sponsored by the Port Huron Bayview Y.C. & the Chicago Y.C.
The Yachts involved in this compound event simply race from the finish of the first race to the start of the other one.
It would be possible therefore to run this as a composite of three legs without any conflicts

- The numbers in the left most Column represent True Wind Angle (TWA) expressed in degrees.
The numbers in the top most Row represent True Wind Speed (TWS) expressed in knots.
The numbers in the main Field of the Table represent the speed of the sailboat at the intersection of the these values expressed in knots.
Notice that the top row needs to be shifted to the left by 1 column to line up correctly.
